The Danspiration Workshop, held recently at Rowan Tree Primary School, had a profound impact on learners who thoroughly enjoyed the dance session. More Than Words, the driving force behind the initiative, demonstrated a strong commitment to making performing arts accessible to everyone.

Both learners and staff actively participated in the workshop, expressing their enjoyment through smiles and laughter that resonated in the school hall. Beyond the celebration of dance, the collaborative nature of the event has hopefully set the stage for potential future partnerships between our school’s Sing and Sign Choir and More Than Words. The workshop’s success is a clear testament to the practical and transformative influence of the arts in enriching the lives of individuals with diverse abilities and backgrounds.

In a heartwarming celebration of community dedication, Rowan Tree Primary School was recognised as a distinguished runner-up for the coveted “School of the Year” award at the highly anticipated Our Town Awards in Wigan Borough. These annual awards honour individuals and organisations that go above and beyond to support and uplift their local community.

We’re incredibly proud of our school’s profound impact on our local community, the students’ remarkable achievements, and the tireless efforts of our dedicated staff team which has garnered widespread recognition and admiration.

Our school Senior and Middle Leadership teams joined fellow nominees in celebrating their extraordinary contributions to the Wigan Borough community at The Edge.

Wigan Borough’s sporting community gathered in exhilaration on October 7th, 2023, for the prestigious 2023 Believe Sports Awards. The event, hosted at The Edge, celebrated the outstanding contributions, achievements, and exceptional dedication of local sports enthusiasts, from rising stars to unsung heroes. The night was made even more special with the presence of British Olympic legend Eddie ‘the Eagle’ Edwards, who presented the coveted awards to the deserving winners.

Although Rowan Tree Primary School didn’t secure the ultimate victory, the school had every reason to be proud. “Boxing For Better,” an initiative within our school, achieved a remarkable feat by securing second place recognition for their outstanding contributions to our community.

School staff whom have ran various sports events were invited to attend the event alongside Kathryn Oliver our Deputy Head. Since joining our school, Kathryn has been at the forefront of spearheading a remarkable array of sports events that promote inclusivity and involve specialist provisions across Wigan, as well as fostering a strong sporting culture within our school.
